G'day from Sydney,
Just joined GDI before Xmas, I think the idea is brilliant! I've been a computer systems engineer for over 15 years and I can tell you the potential of this business concept is astronomical.
I've been reading some of the posts here about Aussies being sceptical. Don't worry, like most I was 'burnt' back in the late eighties with all the MLM rubbish that was going around. That's why Network Marketing in this country is a dirty word and why you'll have a hard time convincing anyone. But you don't have to. This business will sell itself - I was sold as soon as I'd watched the video (and I ordered 2 domains!!).
This business is the first network marketing opportunity I've seen in 20 years that actually has a useful product, is very cheap and doesn't require buying loads of useless pills, herbs, perfume, makeup etc. You don't have to worry about PV's, BV's, PBV's, meetings, conference calls, or trying to convince your friends to spend $hundreds per month on rubbish. Ten bucks a month !!! It's almost ridiculous.
A domain name, website and 10 email addresses is very useful to have. Because I work in the IT industry I can see the day when your own domain/website will be as common as a mobile phone/drivers licence. Aussies everywhere will eventually wise-up. By then they'll be wishing they got in sooner!
My wife has signed up under me and she's from Beijing - so we are looking at the potential of having thousands in our downline from China - as soon as translations for the web pages and business cards are available. Good to see the DVD's are available in Chinese. I also have contacts in the UK from working there a few years back.
Australia only has a pathetic 20 million people. By world standards we're irrelevant. Think GLOBAL - that's what the Internet is all about.
Can't sign up Aussies? Forget about them - get some pen-friends in other countries.
Apologies for such a long first post. But I've finally found something to get excited and passionate about, again. I'm definitely here for the long term - this is going to fund a very nice retirement!
Wishing you the best of success.
Cheers,
Dave Robey
